COSHH and Personal Protective Equipment:


Refer to HSE for information on the Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health and recommendations
with regard to Personal Protective Equipment including Respiratory Protective Equipment.

Hygiene:
Your attention is drawn to the local Health & Safety Executive’s technical guidance on the control of
Legionellosis in water systems. If inadequately maintained, water systems, of which any humidifier is
a part, can support the growth of micro-organisms, including the bacterium that causes Legionnaires’
disease. The distributor has considered all aspects of this equipment to reduce as far as possible the
risk of Legionnaires’ disease and other similar conditions, but it is important that users are aware of
their responsibilities under the ACoP in reducing the risk of Legionellosis.

To prevent the growth of Legionella, users are required to:


1. Carry out a risk assessment of the water system using a competent person, and implement an
appropriate monitoring and control regime.
2. Avoid water temperatures which favour the growth of Legionella.
3. Avoid water stagnation.
4. Clean and disinfect the system in accordance with the Health & Safety Executives technical
guidance and instructions in this manual.
5. The HumEvap system MUST be connected to a clean, potable mains water supply and it is
recommended that the supply pipe work is chlorinated. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure

3 | HumEvap MC3
that the water system complies with local regulations and bylaws, particularly those for the control
of Legionella microbes (such as the HSE ACoP L8, The control of Legionella microbes in water
systems). The use of mains water fed tanks and reservoirs is only permitted as part of a managed
water treatment system.

! WARNING:

The HumEvap must be installed, operated and maintained in accordance with this manual.
Failure to do so could result in contamination that might cause Legionnaires’ disease, which
can be fatal.

Correct Use:
The HumEvap system is intended for adiabatic humidification and cooling. Any other, or further,
application is not considered use for the intended purpose. The distributor cannot be made liable for
any damage or injury attributable to inattentive, inappropriate, negligent or incorrect operation of the
equipment whether or not caused deliberately.

CAUTION:

To prevent water stagnation and microbial contamination, the HumEvap power supply should
be left switched on continuously. If the system is switched off for prolonged periods, typically
longer than one week (subject to risk assessment) the pipework and system should be
disinfected as per instructions and a full risk assessment undertaken to ensure safe operation.

Warranty:
HumEvap parts are warranteed for 2 years from invoice date with the exception of replacement items
listed in the routine maintenance section. Failure to observe the manufacturers installation and
maintenance recommendations and instructions will invalidate the warranty. Condair plc cannot be
made liable for damage or injury attributable to failure to observe the manufacturers installation and
maintenance recommendations and instructions.

HumEvap OEM Versions

The HumEvap OEM versions are designed for customers who are familiar with evaporative
humidification/cooling systems and wish to provide their own controls and hygiene precautions.
OEM versions are designed to be components in a hygienic humidification/evaporative cooling
system, and are not to be considered as entire systems in their own right. There are a number of
requirements that the customer MUST ensure are met in order to bring the OEM versions up to a
standard to comply with WRAS and VDI hygiene specifications. These are listed in this manual.

! WARNING:

The HumEvap ‘OEM’ versions, unlike the HumEvap MC3, do NOT incorporate, as standard,
methods to control the growth of micro-organisms (including the bacterium which causes
Legionnaire’s disease). When designing or installing an air handling system that incorporates
an ‘OEM HumEvap’, appropriate micro-organisms and microbial control methods MUST be
considered and this should only be undertaken by suitably qualified persons. A risk assessment
MUST also be undertaken in relation to control of micro-organisms and microbial growth,
especially Legionnaires disease. If in doubt and for further information, contact your distributor.

1.3 Delivery and Storage

To ensure consistent quality, each evaporative module is inspected before leaving the factory. If the
module is to be put into storage prior to installation, it must be stored under cover and protected from
physical damage, dust, frost and rain.

It is recommended that the evaporative module be kept in its transit packaging for as long as possible
prior to installation.

All evaporative modules are supplied flat-packed for assembly ‘in situ’. The evaporative
module must be assembled before water and electrical connections are made.

Please refer to HumEvap Evaporative Module Assembly Instructions supplied with the system.

Inspection
Upon receipt, remove the transit packaging and inspect the unit to ensure that no damage has
occurred during transit. Any visible damage must be reported to your distributor immediately. If the
unit is to be put into storage, the packaging should be replaced.

Handling Evaporative Material

! WARNING:

The HumEvap evaporative material should not be cut or crushed as doing so may generate
dust.

HumEvap evaporative material is manufactured from glass fibre and is not classified as hazardous. It
is recommended that Personal Protection Equipment such as gloves, protective clothing and eye
protection are used during handling to protect the user from fibres or dust. If dust is generated during
handling it is recommended that respiratory protection is worn. Damage to the evaporative material
will affect the performance of the humidifier and may result in water carry over.

In the event of contact, the following procedures should be observed:


Eye contact – wash well with water for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Skin contact – wash well with soap and water.

Contact your distributor for COSHH data sheet if required.

Correct Method of Lifting


Lifting or handling must only be carried out by trained and qualified personnel. Ensure that the lifting
operation has been properly planned and risk assessed, and that all equipment has been checked by
a skilled and competent Health & Safety representative.

It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that operators are trained in handling heavy goods and to
enforce the relevant lifting regulations.

7 | HumEvap MC3
Any personnel handling or lifting the HumEvap system must follow the Lifting Operations and Lifting
Equipment Regulations 1998 and Approved Code of Practice L113. The regulation imposes duties on
employers and self employed persons and persons who have control, to any extent of lifting equipment.

Delivery and Storage Cont.

The packaged HumEvap unit may be carried by fork lift from the underside, but caution should
be exercised to ensure that the load is balanced before lifting. Refer to weights and measures
section for system weight.

Disposal
You must observe local laws and regulations when disposing of your HumEvap at the end of its
working life. Use personal protective equipment as recommended in the handling section above when
handling the evaporative material. In addition, respiratory protection should be worn to avoid inhalation
of dust or debris from the air flow which may have accumulated on the material.

The evaporative module is constructed from stainless steel which may be fully recycled.

1.4 Inlet Water - Quality Guide

The quality of water being used in the HumEvap system should be checked prior to the commissioning
of a system. It is recommended that the HumEvap system must be connected to a clean, potable
(drinking water quality) mains water supply. For areas of hard water and to minimise scale build up the
water supply may be treated by "Reverse Osmosis" (RO).

Reverse Osmosis
For HumEvap systems where the water supply is treated by RO it is recommended that the system is
operated within the following parameters. The use of RO water fed tanks and reservoirs is only
permitted as part of a managed and hygiene monitored water system and should form part of the water
system risk assessment.
Other Water Supplies

Conductivity > 5 μS cm-1 at 20 °C Circulating HumEvap pump


system
Conductivity > 30 - 50 μS cm-1 at 20 Direct feed system
°C

There is a growing demand to utilise sustainable water sources to help overcome scarcity challenges
and recycle water. It is possible to use high-quality, treated effluent for non-potable applications. The
following gives guidance on reclaimed water quality that may be acceptable for use within the
HumEvap. ‘Effluent treated water’, must be treated by an appropriate water treatment method and risk
assessed to ensure it is safe and suitable for use in the HumEvap unit. It is the responsibility of the
user to ensure that the water supply system is part of a managed, hygiene monitored water system,
risk assessed and complies with the local regulations and bylaws.

Below are example water conditions that would allow a HumEvap to operate within specification.

Controlled Substances
Many of the following controlled substances are toxic; for example Vinyl chloride is highly toxic,
flammable and carcinogenic and could be evaporated off the matrix and passed to the airflow.
Therefore it is important to note that any supply water coming from complex waste water, which may
contain these contaminates should therefore be carefully risk assessed by a water treatment specialist.

Boron Lead Vinyl chloride
Bromate Mercury

Water Monitoring
The HumEvap water system must be must be monitored for hygiene as part of the maintenance
programme. Please refer to the maintenance section for further guidance.

Depending on the system hygiene, it is advised that preventative disinfection chemical should be
added to the HumEvap water tank at an appropriate frequency, such as a monthly basis.

It is recommended that disinfection chemical 'DISIFIN' is added to the tank at approx 500 ppm strength
on a monthly basis to control microbiological activity. DISIFIN is a safe, non toxic, environmental
friendly & 100% biodegradable chemical which provides a prophylactic, disinfection dose and is
effective against all types of microorganisms including; legionella and E.coli.

DISIFIN may be added to the tank whilst the system continues operating and left to dissolve away
naturally. Please refer to the maintenance section for further guidance.

Note: Adding DISIFIN or other disinfection chemicals will increase the conductivity in the tank. This
should be taken into account on systems where a conductivity control system is in use.

If you are in any doubt about the suitability of water quality please contact Condair plc who will be
pleased to advise you.

1.5 HumEvap Principle of Operation

Raising the relative humidity or reducing the temperature by evaporative cooling by passing air
through a wetted matrix is a simple and safe way to humidify and cool the air - with the added benefits
of very low running costs.

At the heart of the HumEvap is the evaporative module, which is installed in an AHU or duct. Water
is supplied to the top of a highly efficient bonded matrix, which is impregnated with silver for added
hygiene. Dry air passes through this moist material picking up water vapour, raising the humidity as it
does so. This process consumes very little energy, far less than steam humidifiers, or even cold water
atomisers.

The water that doesn’t evaporate assists in washing the matrix material and flows into a stainless steel
tank at the base of the unit before being re-circulated up onto the matrix again (except in the HumEvap
OEM Direct Feed version, in which the water passes directly to drain).

As each vertical matrix bank has its own water supply, multi-stage control is an option which
individually operates sections of the system for closer control.

Modular construction facilitates a range of system sizes and efficiencies to match the requirements of
individual applications, and ease of installation, maintenance and replacement should damage occur
to any of the matrix cassettes.

To prevent clogging of the humidifier cassettes, the airflow into the module must be filtered to at least
EU5 filtration standard. Finer filtration may be required for hospitals or where air is being supplied to
areas where food or electronic products are being handled.

To prevent droplet carry over an optional droplet separator can be fitted. It is recommended for
velocities above 3.5 m/s (11.5 ft/s) and the HumEvap system is installed after the fan, a suitable
laminating device may be required.

For areas of hard water, water treatment such as reverse osmosis is recommended to reduce
maintenance requirements. (see water quality guide for further information).

1.6 HumEvap Overview

The HumEvap system consists of two main components as follows:

Evaporative Module
The evaporative module is available in a range of widths. Standard width;
(600mm (24”) to 3000mm (118”)) and XL width; (3300mm (130") to
3900mm (153.5")). The module is also available in a range of heights;
(750mm (30”) - 3000mm (118”)) to match the requirements of individual
applications. The evaporative matrix consists of modular cassettes with
low pressure drop which are available in a range of sizes and efficiencies.

The evaporative module is constructed from recyclable high grade


stainless steel.

The module has drain and overflow connections which are integrated on
MC3 versions. The drain assemblies supplied with XL and MC3 systems
are reversible and simplify drain plumbing.

A single electrical junction box, with pre-wired flying lead for connection to the management system is
included in the HumEvap MC3 system to simplify installation. The MC3
Plus system has two electrical junction boxes with pre-wired flying leads.

Water flow and level in the MC3 systems are controlled by a fill control
solenoid, float valve (x 2 on MC3 or MC3 Plus XL) and low/high level float
switch. Drain flow is controlled by a motorised valve on MC3 systems.
Water is recirculated over the matrix by a high grade circulating pump.

Management system
The HumEvap MC3 or MC3 Plus systems include a microprocessor
control panel which is located outside the AHU, up to 100m (328’) away
from the evaporative module. A 10m (33’) flying lead is supplied unless
otherwise specified (two flying leads are supplied on a MC3 Plus system).
The system gives digital control over desired relative humidity or temperature levels, with a built in
hygiene measures such as; dilution, drain and other water quality maintenance features.

The system can be timer controlled to activate only during hours of building occupancy.

Comprehensive real-time feedback shows current relative humidity and temperature, demand, hours
run, system operating status and whether maintenance is required.

The whole system is easy to set up, has multi-lingual options (English, French, German, Spanish,
Czech, Dutch, and Swedish) and is security code protected to prevent unauthorised alteration of
system settings.

HumEvap MC3 | 26
2.2 Step 1 - Position the Evaporative Module
Installation should only take place after careful consideration of final position of the Evaporative
module and management system and should be in accordance with AHU/duct-work installation
diagram on page 28.

Always discuss the position of the HumEvap module with your distributor/engineer or
representative!

CAUTION:

The HumEvap system must be installed within a waterproof AHU section.

The following points must be considered

1. The AHU / duct-work floor must be designed with a loading capacity capable of supporting the
humidifier’s weight when wet, as the largest unit will weigh 465kg (1025 lb) when in operation - see
back of this manual for weights and measures.
2. A drain pan with provision for running water to waste should be installed within the humidification
section to allow for wetting that might occur during installation, commissioning,operation or
servicing. Where drain pans are required to drain under gravity, ensure that the drains are trapped
and primed and have enough head to overcome the pressure of the system and for hygiene
reasons completely drain down. On commissioning the system, drainage of the humidification
section should be tested. The drain pan MUST drain fully and should be accessible for cleaning
and disinfection as part of routine maintenance of the system.
3. The Module must be positioned on a minimum height 50 mm (2”) up-stand or runners to allow for
drain pipe-work installation and removal of the tank and cassettes through the side of the AHU
if required.
4. Provisions should be made for the water inlet, drain pipe-work and interconnecting electrical cable
to exit through the side of the AHU.
5. Side access through a door (preferably such that the cassettes may be pulled through for
maintenance) should always be provided and a minimum of 600mm (24”) access front and rear
of system for inspection, commissioning and maintenance.
6. A perforated plate (60/40) should be installed upstream in cases where the air flow is uneven.

Step 8 - Connect HumEvap Controls
HumEvap MC3

Controls Wiring
Interlocks are connected to terminals 12-15 and provide a method of switching the unit on or off, or
overriding the normal operation of the HumEvap.

The interlocks are supplied pre-wired with a link as standard.

Thermostat/Humidistat Wiring:
When a stat is used, it should be wired to terminals 12 & 13.

If a control stat (N/C) and high-limit stat (N/C) are required, they would be wired in series onto 12 & 13
and the unit will switch off in the event that either contact is open.

Safety Interlock:
If fault indication is required on the microprocessor, for example where the connection is an interlock
for a water treatment product such as an Ultra-Violet (UV) Steriliser, terminals 14 & 15 should be used.
If the contact is opened, the unit will not operate and a fault will be indicated.

Sensor / External Signal:


Terminals 16-19 are used to power a sensor and provide the HumEvap MC3 with temperature and
humidity readings. If an external signal (i.e. from a BMS) is to be used, it should be wired onto terminals
17 & 18 as shown.

Common Fault Contact:


Terminals 20-22 are used to provide a common fault output, e.g. to indicate to a BMS system that there
is a fault preventing the system from operating correctly. A Normally Open (N/O) contact, i.e. one which
will close in the event of a fault, or Normally Closed (N/C) contact, i.e. one which will open in the event
of a fault, is available as required by wiring to the appropriate terminals. The HumEvap MC3 control
panel has the following fault modes: Safety Interlock Open, Water Inlet Alarm, High Water Level,
Service Due and PureFlo Ag+ Cartridge Replacement Due. An explanation of each fault mode can be

3.5 HumEvap OEM Circulating - Requirements

To ensure hygiene of the HumEvap OEM Circulating Humidifier and to comply with WRAS and
VDI standards, the following requirements should be met:

1. A double check valve (DCV) must be fitted on the mains water inlet in the UK, to protect
contamination of the mains water supply in accordance with WRAS guidelines.

2. The drain plumbing connections must be made via an air gap in accordance with local regulations
to prevent back siphonage into the system. The air gap will allow the user to check that water is
running to drain.

3. There must be a means of preventing the tank staying full of water during periods of non-operation
of more than 24 hours. This will prevent water stagnation and reduce the risk of legionella.

4. The bleed off must be connected to the drain. This will allow a percentage of the water in the
system to pass to drain thus preventing excessive mineral build up in the system.

5. A float switch should be fitted to shut off the fill solenoid in the event of overflow.

6. A float switch should be fitted to prevent the pump from running if the tank is empty.

7. A water inlet valve should be fitted to shut off the water supply whenever the system is not required.

8. There must be a method of ensuring that an rH of 90% is not exceeded.

9. A Motorised normally open drain must be fitted to ensure flow shut off in the event of maintenance
or AHU failure.

10. A suitable hygiene system should be used to maintain the cleanliness of the HumEvap OEM
Circulating. Your distributor offers a number of options, please contact them, if required.

4.1 Step 1 - Position the Evaporative Module
Step 1 - Position the Evaporative Module
Installation should only take place after careful consideration of final position of the Evaporative
module and management system and should be in accordance with AHU/duct-work installation
diagram below.

CAUTION:

Always discuss the position of the HumEvap module with your engineer or representative!

The following points must be considered

1. The AHU / duct-work floor must be designed with a loading capacity capable of supporting the
humidifier’s weight when wet, as the largest unit will weigh 461kg (1016 lb) when in operation - see
back of this manual for weights and measures.

CAUTION:

2. The HumEvap system must be installed within a waterproof AHU section. A drain pan with
provision for running water to waste should be installed within the humidification section to allow for
wetting that might occur during installation, commissioning,operation or servicing. Where drain pans
are required to drain under gravity, ensure that the drains are trapped and primed and have enough
head to overcome the pressure of the system and for hygiene reasons completely drain down. On
commissioning the system, drainage of the humidification section should be tested. The drain pan
MUST drain fully and should be accessible for cleaning and disinfection as part of routine maintenance
of the system.

3. The Module must be positioned on a minimum height 50 mm (2”) up-stand or runners to allow for
drain pipe-work installation and removal of the tank and cassettes through the side of the AHU if
required.

4. Provisions should be made for the water inlet, drain pipe-work and interconnecting electrical cable
to exit through the side of the AHU.

5. Side access through a door (preferably such that the cassettes may be pulled through for
maintenance) should always be provided and a minimum of 600mm (24”) access front and rear
of system for inspection, commissioning and maintenance.

6. A perforated plate (60/40) should be installed upstream in cases where the air flow is uneven.

The HumEvap ‘OEM Direct Feed’ versions, unlike the HumEvap MC3, do NOT incorporate, as
standard, methods to control the growth of micro-organisms (including the bacterium which
causes Legionnaire’s disease). When designing or installing an air handling system that
incorporates an ‘OEM HumEvap’, appropriate micro-organisms and microbial control methods
MUST be considered and this should only be undertaken by suitably qualified persons. A risk
assessment MUST also be undertaken in relation to control of micro-organisms and microbial
growth, especially Legionnaires disease. If in doubt and for further information, contact your
distributor.

53 | HumEvap MC3
4.4 Step 4 - Install Drain Pipework
The Evaporative Module features a gravity drain and overflow which must be connected to the main
building drain with 28mm copper or stainless pipework. The normally open drain assembly can be
reversed to face in the opposite direction to suit either left or right feed pipe-work. This drain assembly
should be connected to the main building drain via the 28mm push fit connection (with an appropriate
fall for gravity drain) and must be trapped to a suitable depth in accordance with the operating pressure
of the AHU.

Please note: HumEvap XL Systems do not have a combined drain and overflow. The system is
supplied with drain plumbing and a separate 32mm push fit elbow on the overflow. They should NOT
be combined to ensure adequate flow rate.

Drain Installation

CAUTION:

When installing the drain, please allow an adequate fall for gravity drain.

CAUTION:

NOTE: The drain connection must be made via an air gap to comply with WRAS guidelines in
the United Kingdom.

Drain Trap
For negative pressure AHU systems drain must be isolated. DO NOT common
with AHU drains as backflow into humidifier may occur.

return to the default status page.

If at any point during the cycle an Inlet Fault, Pump Fault, or Leak Detected activates, the drain will
close until the fault is cleared. A pump failure during a Matrix Wash Over will pause the timer.

It is possible to access any section of the software whilst a Matrix Wash Over cycle is in operation. If
no button is pressed for 30 seconds the display will automatically return to the Matrix Wash Over
Status page.

Note:
If there is evidence of surfactant in the tank once the cycle has completed, the Matrix Wash
Over cycle should be repeated. If at any point the Matrix Material is replaced, a Matrix Wash
Over Cycle must be completed.

HUMEVAP CONTROL ON/OFF
The HumEvap will operate when the Panel Switch is ON, all interlocks
ON/OFF
are closed and the integrated timer is in occupancy.

HUMEVAP CONTROL Humidity Sensor


The HumEvap will operate when the humidity level indicated by the sen-
Humidity Sensor ->
sor is below the setpoint in the software. When Stage Control is fitted,
the unit will operate in steps, i.e. wet a proportion of the evaporative
module only, within the proportional band set in the software to achieve
CONTROL close control.
PARAMETERS
___Setpoint:____70_%
<-_PropBand:___10_% External Signal
___Sensor:____0-10_V The HumEvap will operate when it receives a demand signal from an
external source, e.g. BMS. A 0-10V, 2-10V, or 4-20mA signal can be
HUMEVAP CONTROL accepted. When stage control is fitted, the unit will operate in steps, i.e.

___Sensor:__ _0-1

In addition, the HumEvap can be overridden by the panel switch, the interlock connections or the
integrated “occupancy” timer. The system will only operate when all the interlocks including the panel
switch and intergrated timer are closed and there is demand (if applicable), i.e. if any are open the
system will be switched off. The external signal and the sensor range can be selected with the following
configurations:

0-10 Vdc (0% rH gives 0V, 100% rH gives 10V)


2-10 Vdc (0% rH gives 2V, 100% rH gives 10V)
4-20 mA (Select 2-10 Vdc with a 500ohm load resistor)

Step 2 - Select Stage Control (Optional)


STAGE CONTROL Screen two allows the stage control option to be switched on or off. If Stage
Enabled Control is enabled, scrolling right will display the set points at which each
stage will switch on or off. The points at which sequential stages switch on

Step 3 - Dilution Cycle
DILUTION CYCLE Screen three allows setting the parameters for the dilution cycle. The
Interval:____60_mins process of evaporative humidification or cooling leads to a build up of
Duration:___10_mins dissolved solids in the water tank. To control the level of dissolved solids in
the tank, the HumEvap will operate a Dilution Cycle at preset intervals of
operation. During the Dilution Cycle the HumEvap will simultaneously open
the inlet solenoid and motorised drain valve for a preset duration to drain
dissolved solids away and replenish the tank with fresh water. The Dilution
Cycle does not interrupt normal system operation. The Dilution Cycle
frequency and duration is determined by the inlet water quality and
operating capacity of the HumEvap tank, and should be set in accordance
with the tables shown overleaf.

Refer to the commissioning section of the manual.

Step 4 - Drain Cycle


DRAIN CYCLE Screen four allows setting the parameters for the Drain Cycle. To reduce
the risk of bacterial growth caused by water stagnation in the system, the
Start Time: 00:01
HumEvap system carries out a Drain Cycle. The HumEvap can be set to
DRAIN CYCLE operate the Drain Cycle at a preset time of day (“Time Mode”), or after a
preset period of non-operation (“Interval Mode”). After selecting the
Interval: 30 hrs required Drain Cycle mode, scrolling right will display the page on which
the time, or interval, can be set.

Step 5 - Assisted Drain


ASSISTED DRAIN Screen five allows Assisted Drain mode to be enabled or disabled. On
larger HumEvap systems, the volume of water held in the evaporative
Enabled
matrix during operation is significant. When there is no demand and the
pump stops running, this water runs back to the tank and can increase the
water level to a point at which it will leave the system through the overflow.
To help prevent this, Assisted Drain mode opens the motorised drain valve
when there is no demand until the water reaches the low operating level,
at which point it closes.

Step 6 - Water Temperature Monitoring (Optional, “MC3 Plus” only)

H2O TEMPERATURE Screen six allows settings the parameters for the Water Temperature
Monitoring function. Where fitted, the temperature limit for the tank can be
Limit:________20__ºC
Fault Time:___5_mins preset, along with the delay after which an alarm output is required. When
the system is running and the water temperature exceeds the preset limit,
the HumEvap system will simultaneously open the inlet solenoid and
motorised drain valve to bring in fresh water and reduce the operating
water temperature of the system. If the temperature does not decrease to
below the Limit’ within the ‘Fault Time’, the unit will enter a fault mode and
activate an alarm output.

HumEvap MC3 | 72
Programming the Controller
Step 7 - Disinfection Counter
DISINFECTION The next screen is the disinfection counter. The disinfection counter is
Interval:____10_mths designed to raise an alarm after a pre-defined period, to notify when a
Due in:______28_
mths disinfection of the HumEvap is due. Once the disinfection has been
completed, the right arrow key should be held for 10 seconds to rest the
counter.

Step 8 - Panel Off Fault


PANEL OFF FAULT Screen eight is the Panel Off Fault. When enabled, the controller will
activate an alarm if the panel switch is in the off or manual drain position
Enabled ->
for longer than the ‘Limit’. If the Limit is set to ‘0’ hours, the microprocessor
will activate an alarm as soon as the panel is switched off or to manual

drain.
<-_Limit:___****_hrs

Step 9 - Service Counter


SERVICE SCHEDULE Screen nine allows setting the service interval counter parameters for the
Interval:____200_hrs HumEvap system. The HumEvap system will provide a warning when a
Due in:______200_hrs
Total run:_____0_hrs service will soon be required, and will activate an alarm output when the
service frequency is reached. The Service Counter does not interrupt
normal system operation. The Service Schedule page includes a “Total
Hours Run” counter for the HumEvap system. After completing a service,
pressing and holding the right arrow button for ~10secs will reset the “Due
In” counter and clear a fault if applicable.

Step 10 - PureFlo Cartridge


PUREFLO CARTRIDGE Screen ten allows setting the PureFlo cartridge replacement interval
counter parameters for the HumEvap system. The HumEvap system will
Interval:_____3_mths
Replace in:__90_days provide a warning when PureFlo Ag+ Cartridge replacement will soon be
required, and will activate an alarm output when the replacement fre-
quency is reached. The PureFlo Ag+ cartridge replacement counter
does not interrupt normal system operation. After replacing the PureFlo
Ag+ Cartridge, pressing and holding the right arrow button for ~10secs
will reset the “Due In” counter and clear a fault if applicable.

Step 11 - Date, Time and Day


DATE TIME AND DAY The date, time and day are preset in the HumEvap system and backed
YY:MM:DD__11:03:28 up with a battery. The system will also automatically adjust for daytime
HH:MM__12:15 Friday
saving. However, screen eleven allows the date, time or day to be
adjusted if required. If incorrect, “Occupancy Mode” will not operate as
required.

Step 12 - Set Occupancy


OCCUPANCY The occupancy function can be used to control the hours during which
the HumEvap operates. Select periods of occupancy from the following
Mode: Everyday ->
list:
Always On, Every Day, Weekdays or Weekends. Default value is Always

6.1 HumEvap MC3 Maintenance Schedule

! WARNING:

This humidifier must be installed, operated and maintained in accordance with this manual.
Failure to do so could result in contamination that might cause Legionnaires’ disease which
can be fatal.

Although the HumEvap Humidification System requires very little maintenance, it does require servic-
ing. The procedure for this is outlined in this maintenance section and service schedule tables.
Maintenance of the water treatment systems should be carried out as per the instructions supplied
with that equipment.

Comprehensive maintenance contracts are available from your distributor. Services include:

• Planned maintenance contracts

• Breakdown response

• Technical advice and back up

• Product training

• Spares on demand

Contact your distributor or the distributor's customer service department for more information.

Service Schedule (MC3)


The service schedule should be determined at commissioning. This will depend on the application, the
water quality and the system usage. The default is 200 hrs operation. The programming section con-
tains details of how to adjust the service schedule to suit the applications.

Refer to the software overview section for details on how to access this page.

The “Due in” is the time left until the next service is due.
The “Total run” is the total hours run of the humidifier.

After the humidifier has been serviced the “Due in” hours can be reset by pressing and holding the
right arrow button for 10 seconds.

! WARNING:

WARNING: The HumEvap system should not be electrically isolated for periods exceeding
24hrs as automatic drain and purge cycles will be disabled.

83 | HumEvap MC3
HumEvap MC3 Maintenance Schedule

Service Schedule (HumEvap MC3 & OEM)


If the HumEvap system is turned off for prolonged periods, water stagnation might occur and
microbial contamination result, therefore the system, including any storage tanks or vessels should
be drained and left dry. Before putting the system back into service, a full risk assessment should be
undertaken to ensure safe operation, with particular attention paid to water supply quality.

The water pipe-work supplying the HumEvap should be purged carefully, avoiding the creation of
aerosols by splashing, and a water sample should be taken to ensure cleanliness. In the event that the
humidifier contains any residual water or has remained damp, and the temperature exceeded 20°C,
the HumEvap should be cleaned and disinfected. Refer to the cleaning, disinfection and descaling
instructions in this manual.

6.2 HumEvap MC3 & OEM Maintenance Guide

Please note that the information given below is only to act as a guide and the frequency of maintenance
may depend upon the unit’s age, usage and water quality.
Correct maintenance is vital to ensure optimum output and reliability.

All humidifiers will form part or your hot and cold water system and as such require you to undertake
certain duties with regards to “The control of Legionella microbes in water systems” (L8). Your water
sampling / testing and disinfection regime must be based on details in the O&M manual and from
results of a site specific risk assessment. For this type of Evaporative Humidifier, it is recommended
that disinfection is undertaken at least twice a year.

If any further assistance is required or you are interested in a planned maintenance quote, please
contact your distributor.

6.3 HumEvap Routine Water Sampling and Testing

Hygiene:
Your attention is drawn to the local Health & Safety Executive’s technical guidance on the control of
Legionellosis in water systems. If inadequately maintained, water systems, of which any humidifier is
a part, can support the growth of micro-organisms, including the bacterium that causes Legionnaires’
disease. All aspects of this equipment has been designed and considered to reduce the risk of
Legionnaires’ disease and other similar conditions as much as possible, but it is important that users
are aware of their responsibilities under the ACoP in reducing the risk of Legionellosis.

To prevent the growth of Legionella, users are required to:


1. Carry out a risk assessment of the water system using a competent person, and implement an
appropriate monitoring and control regime.
2. Avoid water temperatures which favour the growth of Legionella.
3. Avoid water stagnation.
4. Clean and disinfect the system in accordance with the Health & Safety Executives technical guid-
ance and instructions in this manual.
5. The HumEvap system MUST be connected to a clean, potable mains water supply and it is recom-
mended that the supply pipework is chlorinated. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that
the water system complies with local regulations and bylaws, particularly those for the control of
Legionella microbes (such as the HSE ACoP L8, The control of Legionella microbes in water sys-
tems). The use of mains water fed tanks and reservoirs is only permitted as part of a managed
water treatment system.

On commissioning and at regular intervals thereafter, test for possible water contamination using
Dipslides. Take samples from the water supply to the HumEvap Matrix and from the HumEvap tank.
Check for biofilm.

The Dipslides should be incubated for 2 days at 30°C (86°F).


1. If the microbial count from the tank exceeds 103cfu/ml, the system should be turned off, any bio-
film scrubbed clean and then disinfected using a 50 ppm chlorine solution for one hour before
being put back into use.
2. If the microbial count in the water supply to the evaporative module exceeds 103 cfu/ml, this sug-
gests contamination of the ice on cleaning your water supply.
3. If the water temperature anywhere in the system regularly exceeds 20°C, (68°F) increase the
frequency of water sampling. The frequency may be reduced if successive tests show a consistent
level below 103 cfu/ml.

87 | HumEvap MC3
HumEvap Routine Water Sampling and Testing

Health and Safety Requirements


Every 6 months, users are required by the Health & Safety Executive, Approved Code of Practice
(ACoP) L8 to take samples for Legionella analysis. Samples should be taken from the same places as
described above, and the analysis carried out by a UKAS accredited laboratory which is part of the
Legionnella AQS Scheme. In the event that the Legionnella content exceeds 102 cfu/l, the humidifier
should be switched off and specialist advice sought regarding its disinfection.

1. If biofilm (a slimy or gel-like deposit when wet, which might be dry and crisp in a dry system) is
found during any inspection of the humidifier or water system, the humidifier MUST be switched
off and not put back into operation until the system has been taken apart, scrubbed and thor-
oughly cleaned with a suitable biocide with biofilm penetrating qualities such as 50ppm chlorine
dioxide solution. This work should only be carried out by fully trained specialist organisations or
individuals.
2. The HumEvap Humidifier must be left powered on to allow automatic flushing and cleaning
cycles to occur. If the HumEvap system is powered off for prolonged periods, water stagnation
might occur and contamination result, so the system, including any storage tanks or vessels should
be drained and left dry. Before putting the system back into service, the water pipework supplying
the HumEvap should be purged carefully, avoiding the creation of aerosols by splashing, and a
water sample should be taken to ensure cleanliness. In the event that the humidifier pipework
contains any residual water or has remained damp, and the temperature exceeded 20°C (68°F),
the HumEvap should be chlorinated using 50 ppm chlorine solution for 1 hour.

Call your distributor for advice on water sampling and analysis, disinfection of systems, service and
maintenance contracts.

6.4 Cleaning and Disinfection

! WARNING:

Before commencing cleaning and disinfection:


For brand new clean systems we recommend the use of DISIFIN XL disinfection chemical at
500ppm prophylactic dose. 1 sachet per 2m width of tank should be placed in the tank, allowed
to dissolve and circulated around the system. DISIFIN is 100% biodegradable, non-toxic and
environmentally friendly and may be left to dissolve and naturally flush away from the HumEvap
after commissioning. For systems which have been previously used or where the water quality
or air quality is poor, it is recommended to dismantle and scrub the system clean, to carry out
a disinfection with a minimum of 50ppm chlorine circulated for 1 hour. Please refer to the
cleaning and disinfection and method statement section to ensure that the relevant chemicals,
equipment and Personal Protective Equipment are available to carry out disinfection.

1. Risk assess the situation. This should include but is not limited to observance of COSHH, L8
and the use of PPE, working from heights and ensuring a full understanding of the HumEvap
System.
2. Coordinate with relevant responsible persons.
3. Check records (i.e sample results of microbiological control) for system history.
4. If possible, disinfection should be carried out when the building is unoccupied, with air flow off.

Evaporative humidifiers must be regularly cleaned and maintained, to prevent contamination especially
in industrial environments.

All surfaces requiring disinfection or cleaning must be in contact with the appropriate concentration of
disinfection solution for at least one hour. The method statement for disinfection may need to be
adapted depending on the layout of the humidifier pipe-work, for example, where system pipe-work
splits into ‘H or U’ shape, ensure that disinfection solution reaches all pipe-work end-of-lines. Additional
procedures will be required for supply water system pipe-work or water treatment systems prior to the
humidifier.

It is recommended that routine disinfection should take place in the following situations:

• At initial commissioning. (For brand new systems use DISIFIN XL disinfection chemical).
• Where routine monitoring and control regime or risk assessment shows it to be necessary, the use
of DISIFIN XL monthly or as necessary is recommended. 1 sachet per 2m width of tank should be
placed in the tank and allowed to dissolve.
• At six monthly intervals.
• If the system or part of it has been shutdown and/or substantially altered creating a risk of
contamination.
• During or following an outbreak or suspected outbreak of Legionellosis.

This recommendation is in accordance with the HSE’s Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) L8.

6.6 HumEvap MC3 Frequency Asked Questions

Basic Problems:
1. I have just had a HumEvap installed, what does it mean when it asks for the 'release code'?
• A product activation code is required to enable the unit to work, and this needs to be entered
into the software. Please contact your distributor (which is displayed on your control panel
display) with unit details (model No. and serial No.), site address, contact name, email and
telephone details.

2. What should I do if there are no lights and no display?


This could mean that you do not have a power supply or have the incorrect voltage. The corrective
action for this is as follows:
• Check that the green light is lit on the side of the control panel. This indicates that there is a
power supply connected.
• Check the power supply for correct electrical voltages including Neutral and Earth. Refer to
CE label for correct voltage.

1. Why is there water is carrying over into the air stream and/or the water appears to be
foaming?
• Make sure the humidifier evaporative material has been completely flushed at commissioning,
to remove all manufacturing residues, including surfactants. Refer to the commissioning
section of the manual.
• The humidifier matrix may be incorrectly fitted. Check the humidifier cassettes have been fitted
correctly by referring to the HumEvap assembly guide.
• Check HumEvap installation is level in both planes.
• The water distribution header or pipework is damaged or incorrectly fitted. Check all pipes and
fittings for damage. Check the water distribution header has been fitted correctly.
• The air velocity or flow might be uneven across the face area of the system. Fit a perforated
plate before the HumEvap.
• The junction cover may be incorrectly fitted. Check the junction cover bracket is correctly fitted
as shown.
• The air velocity across the face of the humidifier might be too high. Check the air velocity
against the specification for the unit. Note that the HumEvap system has the following limits
(see table):

2. Why is the HumEvap unit on but not filling up with


water?
This could be due to:
• The control panel is not switched on. Switch on and
check set-point.
No Separator Separator
• The water supply has been isolated. Check for water
supply. 3.5 m/s (11.5 4.5 m/s (15
ft/s) ft/s)
• The unit is outside occupancy. Check occupancy settings
and times on the HumEvap controller; see ‘Step 9
Programming the controller’.
• No demand for humidity. Refer to controls section of the current manual and check the control
parameters are correct, see ‘Step 1 Programming the controller’ in the commissioning section.
Check the demand for humidity or temperature (if cooling) is set for the desired condition.

3. Water is leaking from the evaporative module tank or AHU, what should I check for?
• Check that the HumEvap is installed in a water proof section with drain pan.
• The tank level may be wrong. Check the tank is installed level in both planes.
• The HumEvap system might be incorrectly fitted. Check the humidifier has been fitted correctly
by referring to the HumEvap assembly guide.
• The tank might be damaged. Check the tank for damage or holes.

• The drain pipe-work connection is damaged or incorrectly fitted. Check the pipe-work for

HumEvap MC3 | 94
HumEvap MC3 Frequency Asked Questions Cont.

4. The module pump won't start, why?


• The control panel is not switched on. Switch on and check set-point.
• The evaporative module tank water level isn't high enough. Check water level float switch
position.
• The unit is in a fault mode. Refer to basic problem 3)ii.
• The unit is not calling for humidity/no control signal. Check control signal.
• The unit is out of occupancy. Check occupancy times, refer to programming the controller in
the 'commissioning' section of the current manual.

5. Water sampling tests show contamination. What should I do?


• Check the drain pipe-work is not blocked and operation of the drain valve.
• This may be due to the AHU air, or supply water being contaminated. Refer to ‘HumEvap
Routine Water Sampling and Testing’ and ‘Cleaning and Disinfection’ section. This can be
found in the ‘maintenance’ section.
• Review the maintenance and cleaning requirements.
• Check the intake of the AHU for a contaminated source of moisture such as an ornamental
pond fountain or cooling tower ‘drift’. Note: A build up of 'dust or dirt' on the air on side may
indicate air filtration problems.

6. The system is not reaching setpoint, or has loss of performance. What should I check?
• The humidifier cassettes are blocked or damaged. Check for damaged cassette(s) and
replace if required.
• The humidifier cassettes are incorrectly fitted. Check the humidifier has been fitted correctly
by referring to the HumEvap assembly guide.
• Insufficient water is being supplied to the matrix. Check the rotation of the module pump.
Check the water supply pressure. Check the water distribution spray bars are not blocked with
scale.
• Incorrect AHU air flow. Check the AHU airflow to ensure it is within the specification.

7. There is scale built up on the surface of the matrix. Why?


The process of evaporation leads to a build up of dissolved and salts in the reservoir. An excess
concentration of minerals may result in scaling on the humidifier cassettes.
• Check the proximity of the heating coil and ensure that there is a minimum of 600mm
clearance.
• Check the supply water quality and the parameters of the ‘dilution cycle’, especially the
interval and duration settings, see ‘Step 4 Programming the controller’.
• The water flow to the headers has reduced and wash over of humidifier cassettes is insufficient.
Check the flow restrictors located after the pump in the water manifold are not blocked.
• Check the drain pipe-work is not blocked and operation of the drain valve.
• Note: A build up of 'dirt' on the air on side may indicate air filtration problems.
